Publisher's Summary

Right in front of her eyes...

Former bounty hunter Marc DiLeo is not the guy social worker Courtney Gerard wants helping her. But finding a kid who's been missing for a long time takes priority over her personal preferences. And if anyone can locate the child, Marc can - even with his injury. So she'll overlook his attitude.

As they begin to follow cold leads, Courtney glimpses something surprising beneath his tough exterior - care, compassion, and even, vulnerability. That softer side proves more irresistible than his good looks. Soon, an unexpected - and surprisingly intense - attraction flares between them, making her wonder why she never saw this before. Suddenly the man she was determined to avoid is the only man she wants close!
